DENVER, CO – Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Chase Dollander will make his Major League debut this Sunday, stepping in for the injured Austin Gomber. Gomber, who was placed on the injured list at the end of spring training with left shoulder soreness, suffered a setback in his rehab assignment. Manager Bud Black anticipates Gomber will be sidelined for another 2-3 weeks.
Dollander, the ninth overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft, impressed in spring training but began the season with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. After a strong five-inning, one-run performance with five strikeouts on Sunday, he was called up to the Rockies. He’ll face the Oakland Athletics in his first MLB start. The news was shared via social media by the Rockies organization. The team’s opening road trip and Dollander’s debut are generating considerable excitement among fans.
